HI everyone,
I also need to apply expression of "INTEREST TO SPONSOR" my parents during this year 2021. I am disappointed to understand that this year during 2021 no new applications are being called from eligible applicants. Can you please clarify on the following issues?
1) Is is true that quota for 2020 draw has been increased from 10000 to 40000 (additional 30000).
2) Is this implies that the draw being taken out of 2020 applicants pool will be 40000?
3) When expression of "INTEREST TO SPONSOR" for eligible applicants for the year 2021 will be called?
Shall be thankful.
1) IRCC aims to receive up to 40,000 complete applications in 2021—10,000 from the 2020 intake process and 30,000 from 2021.IRCC invites more people to apply than the number of applications we aim to receive because not all sponsors who are invited to apply submit an application.
2) This is going to be a new pool but the people who already submitted. If you were able to submit the interest to sponsor form in 2020, you saw a page with a confirmation number. We asked you to write down this number so you can use it later.
We also sent you an email with the confirmation number to let you know we got your form. Once we send out invitations, you can use it to check if you’ve been invited to apply to the 2021 program.
3) Date will be announced soon for new applicants. Invitations to apply will be sent over the course of 2 weeks, starting the week of September 20, 2021.
